You could also set it so Bozo users have NO role on WP, and then go into your WP admin and delete all users with a role of 'none'?

Simply put, this deletes the account as soon as it's made. I know it's not perfect because it still sends the registration email and requires extra queries. I'll try to make it work before any queries are made and then I'll submit it to the plugins repository.

I am not sure if this is better as core function, so I placed up a TRAC ticket.

I was wondering if someone could throw together a plugin that would have an option in the admin area to clear BOZO users. Most people don't mind having thousands of users register for their forum, as they don't hurt anything being a bozo, but with the integration with WP, all Bozo's are moved over to WP.

That forces me to delete the users anyway. 99% of new registrations are BOZO, so I figure that I would like a simple "Click Here" to delete all the users in admin. That or just use cron to call a file that deletes bozo users. I was working on it myself, but seemed to hit a bit of a snag.

The best option would be to edit the bbpress-integration.php plugin to not bring BOZO's over to WP. That would mean editing it to not register anyone that is a bozo. That or register them and immediately delete them.

Any help would be appreciated!
